VSC / VHC Pure Technology! Entwicklungs- und Maschinenbau GmbH

2 3 Right at the heart of your production process: the machining centres of the VSC and VHC series stand out through precision quality and flexible design Pure Technology! The VSC and VHC travelling column machines The new centrepiece of your manufacturing facility On hand at all times. Showing no weakness despite being non-stop in action. Always mastering new challenges machine tools are at the centre of the production process in the metal processing industry. They must correspond to the highest requirements concerning availability and precision. AXA tradition lies in the development, construction and assembly of machine tools. Your customer wishes falls on open ears and minds to bring about creative ideas which are then individually implemented as best as possible. The travelling column machines VSC and VHC combine these advantages: clear in their structure, yet flexible in their assembly. The working area is constructed to be extremely rigid. The fixed machine tables and stationary positioned tool magazine pool ensure that only the travelling column is in motion. Strong drive motors cater for the very dynamic performance of our machine tools. The combination of fixed machine tables with linear motion axes on the tool side opens up a whole world of possibilities: small and compact machine variants for the manufacturing of small parts are just as possible as sophisticated machines for large and complex work pieces. The machines are also capable of operating in pendulum processing machining mode, which minimises set-up times so as to be quickly ready for operation. Place your trust in the specialist with plenty of tradition: AXA.

12 13 Top notch in all movements during milling, drilling and turning Increasingly complex turning and milling jobs are demanded upon the metal processing industry. The machines of the VSC and VHC series have been so designed to fulfil these requirements. To ensure this success, the machines are equipped with rotary tables that are directly driven by quick-turning, high performance torque motors as well as vertical or horizontal turning spindles to create very high speeds. A further firmly fixed, hydraulic turning tool holder with automatic pull-in next to the working spindle serves to assimilate the corresponding required turning tools. The separate clamping unit for turning tools thus ensures for utmost Milling, drilling and turning in one setting with vertical and horizontal spindle position stability, a clear orientation of the turning tools and avoids further stress on the main spindle bearing during turning operation. Tool changing between two tool holding systems thanks to the adjustable XTS changer and gripping arm is one of the outstanding benefits of the machine. For example, one magazine chain can be set with CAPTO C6 uptake for turning tools and at the same time a second magazine can be carried out with SK 50 for drilling and milling tools. Thanks due to the expandable tool shop, you can set the configuration of the magazine chains yourself and therefore determine the number of required tools for turning and drilling/milling. Initial set-up is also possible on another XTS tower and the chain configuration can be determined at a later point in time. Thus, the machine can then be equipped to an altered machining situation any time later on. The clamping system not in use is then closed during milling and turning operation and is thus in this case ideally protected. The perfect twist! The deliberately chosen separate clamping unit for rotary tools provides optimal stability during turning machining All intermediary angles can be set on the turning tool position beside the vertical and horizontal spindle position Turning spindle with 1500 rpm in combination with a tailstock that can be manually adjusted over the fixed machine table in longitudinal direction for varying lengths of the turning workpieces Two different tool holding fixtures can be changed by the XTS changer for example one magazine with CAPTO C6 and a second one with

1 15 Keeping a firm grip on small and large workpieces alike A firm and secure hold is the key to a faultless result. The requirements are just as different as the forms of the workpieces. Alongside fixing, other factors play an essential role when choosing the right clamping technology: cost effectiveness, operator convenience and machine reliability. already exist can also be integrated just as much as individual solutions can be developed. Together with numerous partners, we find the correct clamping technology. VSC and VHC: Let s clamp together! The AXA experts give the right advice on the choice of the right clamping technology: Regardless whether mechanical, hydraulic, magnetic or vacuum technology place your trust in our experience. Systems that Quick set-up change from very small workpieces to very large and long workpieces by main supporting units - These can be adjusted manually in the X-direction or be NC-driven - Quickly changing clamping elements can be incorporated by the zero-point clamping systems Clamping technology in its diversity: - Chucks or clamping devices - Machine vices - Centering vices - Box jaws - Multiple clamping systems - Clamping towers - Simple table clamping systems - Clamps of moulded parts with special clamping system Manual or NC-driven pre-centering and presetting of the clamping elements for the next workpiece diameter The workpiece can be rotated to position when clamped Large chucks for complete machining of rings, for example, a 6 jaw chuck with 3 centrering and three adjustable jaws as well as additionally adjustable support guide-rail for the workpiece Manually adjustable jaw chuck or hydraulic jaw chuck with automatic stroke of the main jaws which are also manually adjustable Rail-guide profile machining of up to 12 metres in length. Hydraulically driven and controlled swivel clamps hold the workpiece in position The swivel clamps are automatically moved aside during machining in the area of the milling tool and then swung back again after the machining has been completed

16 17 Automisation at every work cycle Assured quality at optimal task repetition the VSC and VHS machining tool series fulfil such aspirations. Highly developed automisation technology plays an essential role in achieving this. Furthermore, it reduces production costs and protects staff from heavy and dangerous activities. Automating the complex movements around loading and unloading workpieces as well as finding the right choice of clamping technology belong just as much to an ideal automisation solution as workpiece machining and process control. AXA masters these requirements as well individually created around customer requests. Here is where the decisive machine value added originates for production. Regardless whether this centres around a large production series or applications for the production of small series. Engineering from AXA: Automatically finding a good solution! Installed industrial robot in front of the travelling column machine for direct machine loading and unloading with workpieces Quick and simple automisation by compact complete solution with workpiece storage, handling system and zero-point clamping Complex hydraulic clamping unit, modularly designed by AXA, for quick conversion and secure chip flow In X-travelling industrial robot to load and unload palettes with clamped components in pendulum operation Machine buffer store reduces set-up times due to long transport distances of the robot system - During machining, the robot changes the workpieces from the buffer into the workpiece storage unit Double gripper swaps the finished item with the raw material in one work cycle - As loading takes place from above by the portal robot, machine accessibility remains intact
